When I make a blog post, I have a plugin that automatically tweets the fact that I have made a new blog post. The question is, does Twitter send traffic to your blog.

Or…

When you make a Tweet and include a link in it, will your followers click, and then take action? Welcome to the Twitter Traffic Experiment. It is very simple…

Win $25 Simply by Posting a Comment In this Post

To go in the running to win $25, simply make a comment in this thread answering this question:

“What will make you want to subscribe to my RSS feed or email list and read ColinKlinkert.com?” (could be the type of content you want to see, a topic you want to learn etc.)

The way I will get people to see this thread is send 1 tweet now, and 1 again in 12 hours to account for time difference. So two tweets will basically be the source of traffic to this post, the experiment is to see how many people post comments and maybe even retweet my tweet about it…

I have to agree if I had a notification to retweet that would work, but I would also like to see some of the content to be on information or places to go get info on developing a Successful Internet Business. Or real programs that are being used by someone that really work or do NOT work giving us a heads up so to speak.

Hello! I found this page through Twitter. I’m @sweepstakesgirl. Giveaways are sure to bring traffic from Twitter. Upon landing on your page, my first questions are: WHO and WHAT? Who are you? What kind of page is this? Pick a niche and promote it. Your page seems generic. I’d like to know what I’m subscribing to before I hit the button with my email address. Sure, you have an about page. And sure, the header says marketing. But tell me more and peak my interest on every page! –Michelle

If I want to subscribe to your blog I would want to know what kind of business you are promoting. What’s the name of your business and what kind of product you are selling? I would also want to know how you are gonna sell it. What type of lists would generate the most visitors to my page, etc, etc? Giveaways are cool as well, perhaps like you can give like prizes away monthly for everyone that reads your blog. Or have a monthly entry form. The prizes don’t have to be too expenisve, just enough so that people can be really interested in what you are blogging. Oh and some success stories about your product would be helpful too.

Thanks Michelle for the comment and feedback… The ‘About Me’ is on every page, including twice on the homepage here there is a snippet about me, the ‘My Sites’ link is also on every page and that shows what I do.

Hi:
I will read blogs if I think they have some valuable information to help me with my online business. It also depends on how easy it is to get to the blog. Don’t like to spend a lot of time clicking to find something.

Just curious, aside from content and topic, do you happen to know if the timing of a tweet to generate traffic is important. Like timing the end of an eBay auction? Do you get more clicks if you tweet at a certain time?

Over the 2 day period, 20th and 21st (post was made on the 20th) 25.93% of traffic came from Twitter.com

So all in all, I’d say its worth using twitter, although it must be noted, my traffic from other sources is still quite low as ive only just started blogging regularly, so if it was higher, that % would be lower

How come the http://www.viralurl.com does not work? I think I have one of those but I’m not sure?
Why do those pages quit like that. Yesterday, the hitsconnect.com wasn’t working either. The day before that, another one hit the skids – forgot which one??

45 followers with 22 going is almost 50% right? What does it mean if they go twice? The total was 42 with 22 unique. I’m not a marketer though. I just learned how to track the links. It’s kind of tedious but Rule #2 is track dat ad!! Most of what I post on Twitter is stuff like this:

My question is this: Isn’t that good enough? If someone wants what you have, they will shop around. If not, let them play the game or whatever fun things you have and go. You can only lead them there, the rest is up to them. Like I said, I’m not a marketer. I make it up as I go along!! Rule #1 Must be FUN!!
